With a dog-friendly pub on the doorstep and an idyllic little cove just 350m down the lane, this romantic retreat makes a fine choice for a couple and their pair of canine companions. Private parking means you can explore this gem of a location at your leisure; pick up the South West Coast Path for a challenging walk – Land’s End is 12 miles and Mousehole 5 miles.
Located in captivating Lamorna Cove, this contemporary cottage features a chic, full-of-light open-plan living space where people and pets can escape the outside world in comfort. Close by, the village inn offers an enticing range of food and refreshments, but for romantic nights in the kitchen has all the chef’s essentials. Dine by the window before snuggling up in front of the Smart TV; exposed beams and a wood burner enhance the cosy ambience. Once the pets are settled for the night, your bedroom has a calming palette and a comfortable double bed. Adjacent, the shower room is perfect for washing off the sand and suncream at the end of your day’s adventures. Step outside and the raised decking area has furniture so you can enjoy al fresco drinks and snacks at any time of day. Your private off-road parking will prove invaluable – the pet-friendly beach is a pleasant walk away and has a highly-rated café at the water’s edge.
Follow the South West Coast Path for walkies with a view. At Porthcurno (7 miles) the Minack Theatre is one of the UK’s most famous outdoor amphitheatres; dogs and their owners can explore the sub-tropical gardens that stretch down to golden sands. Head east and Mousehole has a labyrinth of narrow streets to sniff out, plus sturdy breakwaters that protect the village from the force of the sea. A little further along the coast, Newlyn is the South West’s largest fishing port – watch trawlers land their latest catch, or learn about the School of Art which was established here in the late 19th century.
